On February 23, Nanbang Seoul Yongsan E-sports Stadium.

Just now, an upset was born.

The SSG team was invincible and sent to the BBQ team with a 2-0 defeat.

Wait a minute

Is Samsung winning BBQ an underdog? Make no mistake!

Make no mistake!

This LCK team, whose full name is Samsung Galaxy and abbreviated as SSG, is the old team that reached the World Finals in the S7 World Championship last year, and was defeated by EDG and failed to win the S7 World Championship!

Even, even the starting lineup is still the top laner withering, the jungler An head, the mid laner crown, the AD ruler, and the auxiliary buckle Kunkun, maintaining the original team last year!

The BBQ team is the second-to-last team of the LCK last summer and did not even enter the playoffs.

Why is Samsung's defeat of BBQ called an upset?

This is entirely due to the fact that the results of the first stage of the Samsung Spring Championship were not ideal.

Before playing against the BBQ team, Samsung was already third from bottom in the league with four consecutive defeats, compared to the sixth place in the BBQ team, which is a fringe team in the playoffs.

It is a very appropriate thing for the sixth to win the eighth, but the BBQ has been speedrun for two consecutive games, and it is not surprising that it is called an underdog.

"West Eight—"

"Hai Chengming, you also deserve to be called Champion AD?"

In the BBQ's training room, Team top laner Carzy yells at zet with a look as crazy as his ID.

"Today's opponent is your opponent at last year's World Finals!"

"My teammate sacrificed the priority of selection and got you skateboard shoes, why was you pressed by Ruler?"

"This isn't the first time!"

"It was the same with the SSG game in January!"

"If you don't have the ability, don't get such a high salary!"

Before the ESC Ever team was sponsored by the BBQ franchise, Carzy had been a starter for two seasons with the team.

He is about to turn 22 years old, and he usually looks like a 'big brother' in the team.

AFTER THE FORMER JUNGLER ARES TURNED COACH, HE BECAME THE OLDEST BBQ EMPEROR, AND HE IS THE EXISTENCE OF THE TEAM.

Although her team has always been bottom of the league, Caryz is still motivated to try and make the playoffs with a new roster so that her career doesn't fail too much.

Although Samsung's ranking is lower than that of BBQ, the team's heritage and player strength are there, and Samsung is still a strong contender for the BBQ playoff spot.

So

Carzy is serious about winning today's match.

Of course, the more important point is to take advantage of the fact that it is still the farthest spring from autumn, and give some strength to the 'Autumn Wilt' that was blown numb at last year's Worlds but was violently beaten by the players of the EDG team Nexus.

After all, it's the time of year when Cuvee is at its worst.

Before playing against Team BBQ,

Samsung have lost five games in a row, and Cuvee has been beaten up by Smeb, Khan, Kiin, T Emperor, and even Griffin's Michelin.

"Griffin!"

"A team that has only come up from the LCK minor this season."

"They don't have fried chicken sponsors! The training conditions are so poor, and there is a huge outrageous jungler! ”

"But that's it, they can all handle SSGs like playdough!"

"Hai Chengming! I'm afraid you're going to pay the whole Griffin team for a signing, right? ”

"What a piece of rubbish—Nishihachi!"

Carzy became more and more excited, if he hadn't just lost three stars, he would have the urge to go to the other party's lounge to ask the boss to borrow the baseball bat he carried with him.

The higher the signing fee, the greater the responsibility!

Your champion AD Hai Chengming takes so much money, you can't play an advantage in the bottom lane to radiate the middle lane and wild area, and then the middle lane wild area radiates to me on the road and let me beat Cuvee, this is your fault!

Because of "(the culture of predecessors)", Zet lowered his head and didn't dare to speak out of Caryz's unreasonable abuse.

In fact, this is not the first time.

Hai Chengming, who is usually gentle, is often troubled by his teammates by relying on age buffs.

Although throughout the South Stick, this is a very common and common phenomenon.

But for zet, who has just returned to the LCK region from EDG, it was a bit difficult to accept for a while.

Zet, who has a slightly submissive personality, can't "question, understand, and become", and whenever he encounters difficulties from his 'seniors', he is always silent, keeping his head down and letting them vent.

Carzy has a big temper, just put up with it.

Resist or something, don't.

Brother Prospective, they seem to have a game today, right?

For some reason, Zet's mind conjured up the smiling faces of his former EDG teammates.

In this year's EDG, there are two sets of lower road combinations, and it will definitely be no fun to go back as an AD.

But if he could go back, Zet would be willing to be an obscure midlaner like S6 did with Team Rox.

Even if it's a substitute mid-laner, it's much happier than staying in BBQ~

……

Xi'an is located in the middle of the Yellow River Basin, the hinterland of the mainland.

This ancient imperial capital with thousands of years of cultural heritage will hold a unique ceremony tonight.

As participants in the ceremony, the EDG team has already stepped off the plane.

"Hmm-ha-"

Under the warm winter sun, Missing breathed the dry and cold air of the Guanzhong Basin for a long time, and his expression was pleasant.

He is a native of Xi'an.

Even with the continuous development of means of transportation, he didn't even need to go from the magic capital to Xi'an, and he could reach the speed of morning and afternoon by plane.

But when he returned, standing on this land, Missing's heart gave birth to an incomparably vast mood.

Life can be a five-foot body, but it is the plains that nurture life.

"Starting today, you must perform well!"

Sister Bu patted Missing on the back.

Since WE's home stadium in Qujiang, Xi'an will hold an unveiling ceremony today, it is rare for him to go out with the team.

"I will!"

The words are very simple, but there seems to be a lot of pride in Missing's heart:

"After tonight's game, I'll take everyone to my favorite restaurant!"

Although many of the team members were still a little dizzy because they had slept on the plane, they immediately got up alive when they heard that someone was going to treat them.

"Xi'an is the capital of carbs!"

"It is said that there are a lot of special snacks, do you want Xiao Lou to take us to go shopping first and fill our stomachs?"

"Although the home-and-away system is very tiring to run around, it can be regarded as a publicly-funded travel from time to time, and it is quite humane!"

"Hahaha, as long as you don't go to the LGD home stadium!"

"What do you mean, isn't it said that the LGD home stadium will have to wait 19 years to be repaired?"

"The point is not LGD, it's the city where LGD is, the food desert! Featured are Barbie steamed buns and KFC, McDonald's. ”

"Also, Hangzhou is really strange, Huzhou is spicy, Jiacheng food is close to Jiangsu and Shanghai, Lu Xun's former residence is famous for its fresh smell, and there is no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas to the south, it is said that Xinrongji originated in Lingjiang City, which can be used as the provincial capital of Hangzhou, but there is no food that can be handled."

……

Night falls.

Xi'an South Gate.

As the two rows of palace maids in red clothes and blue skirts with red lanterns in their hands slowly spread out to both sides, a man dressed as Shaoqing said loudly:

"Officials of the Tang Honglu Temple, etc., welcome guests from all over the world, come to Chang'an!!"

"Please!"

Immediately afterwards, the city gate drawbridge was lowered, and a group of majestic warriors in gold armor walked out of the city gate neatly and lined up along the red carpet.

On the other side, the white shirts walked in front, and the WE team members wearing red and white team uniforms with black hair were following them, surrounded by the 'palace maids', and slowly walked forward along the central avenue.

[I'm blanching, what is the card? ] 】

Why is there no EDG? Isn't EDG and WE fighting today! 】

[This is WE's entrance to the city. The game will not start until 7 o'clock, and the home game will be on the edge of the Hibiscus Garden, and the opening match will be played after the entrance ceremony.

[The ceremony is so grand, WE is not very poor, is this money earned by selling players? ] 】

[South Gate, also known as Yongning Gate!] 】

【Welcome Home!】 】

[The thirteen dynasties have such great courage in ancient times, give an e-sports club this kind of card! ] 】

[Ruofeng: Hey, when I was playing professionally, how could I have all these bells and whistles......]

……

Pei Le, the owner of WE Club, like Missing, is also a native of Xi'an.

Walking on the red carpet with the players, his heart was mixed.

This year, it suddenly received support from Xi'an to help WE raise funds, and invested in the construction of a home stadium belonging to WE Club with WE resources.

For him, who is used to living a 'poor life', happiness came too suddenly.

The city,

There are more than a million college students who are passionate about esports.

In the 90s, there was also a flourishing 'Internet café culture'.

Now it's welcoming WE "home" with such a big hand.

It's really touching.

"And drones!"

"I'm really envious!"

EDG was not invited to participate in the entrance ceremony of Qujiang E-sports Stadium, after all, it was specially prepared by Xi'an for WE Club.

However, after the ceremony is over, Team WE will immediately go to the home stadium for the opening match against EDG.

"We'll have it too."

"It's just that when the time comes, it may not be so grand."

Sister Bu watched the live broadcast, a little envious and jealous.

As the most developed city in the country, the economy of Modu is naturally needless to say, and the e-sports industry has begun to flourish early.

It doesn't need to inject vitality into the city by investing more in esports, as an ancient inland capital like Xi'an.

"Hey," Sister Bu sighed and thought to herself, "When we EDG defeat WE, we will win the second championship at the World Championship in Busan and become a real e-sports giant, and any city will welcome us." ”

originally thought that with his relationship with WE Club, he could also go up to the red carpet and show a portrait in front of the TV.

didn't think that Pei Le had no opinion, but the organizer Xi'an said that it was not suitable:

"The entrance ceremony is specially prepared for WE, and the promotional video of the opening match will have a lot of footage of EDG, the team that won the first World Championship trophy for the LPL!"

"However, Nexus and Missing, as former members of Team WE, can represent EDG on the red carpet."

Compared to the decrepit sister cloth.

The atmosphere on the part of the players was much more enthusiastic, and they watched the drone put out the WE team logo in the live broadcast, while re-emphasizing the tactical design of the next game.

……

7 p.m., WE Qujiang E-sports Stadium.

The first battle between EDG and WE after the New Year's holiday has officially begun!

"Both WE and EDG have two wins so far! The outcome of this game may be related to the first round of the Western Conference! Guan Zeyuan, Remember and WE veteran Strawberry, who just delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the venue, are today's commentators.

"Although EDG has a lot of fans, this is the home of the WE club after all, and many of the fans who came to cheer for the team today have the red WE logo on their faces!"

"There are also many fans, holding the EDG flag in their left hand and WE's cheering stick in their right hand, and the atmosphere is really good!"

Commentators, you say a word to me:

"Haha, after all, the Nexus players, as well as EDG's starting support Missing in this game, have all played for WE."

"It's normal for fans of Team WE and Team EDG to overlap."

As the narrator says,

Even if the tickets for this game are mostly distributed by Xi'an through 'Squeak' to WE fans who are located in Xi'an at the time of the free ticket delivery event, only a small number are sold publicly.

But there are a lot of fans of EDG on the spot.

When the Black Knights entered the stadium, almost the entire audience of fans stood up and cheered.

If you don't know how to watch the live broadcast, you may mistakenly think that this is EDG's home stadium.

"Come on, Nexus!"

"Missing, come on!"

"EDG, come on!"

The sound receded.

Five players dressed in red walked out, and their appearance was like a blazing flame, injecting the driving force into the passionate audience.

The cheers were so loud that the LPL director had to lower the sound flow a few points.

【Hospitality Xi'an! 】

[Hahaha, I don't know why I'm very entangled in the outcome of this game, I hope EDG wins and I don't want WE to lose the home opener]

[Regardless of whether Guodian wins or 60 E wins, I can accept it, after all, Nexus and Missing are both WE out, Missing is still from Xi'an, and EDG is also half WE]

[To sum up, only Pei Le was injured. 】

[If WE loses, it will lose 1:2, and it will be too ugly to be 2:0 in the opening game]

……

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the opening match, the referee had already repeatedly checked the equipment in the stadium three hours in advance.

After the contestants were seated, they boarded their accounts without any incidents.

Jiang Zhun accompanied Gala to open a custom room, and after three minutes of hot hands in the middle lane, they both exited the summoner's canyon and were pulled into the competition room by the spicy incense pot.

[We, xiye: Big brothers on the other side, today is a good day, let's do it!] ]

[WE, 957: Brother Zhun, Brother Lou, we just walked the red carpet together!] ]

[EDG, Nexus: haha~]

"Missing, 957 all call you Brother Lou" Spicy Xiangguo pressed his hair with his hand and deliberately asked: "Is it loyal to the country, etc., the word doesn't seem appropriate. Isn't it a combination of inside and outside? ”

"Hey, Brother Xiangguo, I'm already a little stressed today, don't hold me up! Today in Xi'an, my parents are here, how can I be inside and outside! ”

Jiang Zhun knew that the spicy pot was afraid that he had not been on a few games Missing was under pressure in his heart, so he deliberately eased the atmosphere.

However, Missing's tone was relaxed, not at all like he said he was stressful.

"Just play well, it doesn't matter if you win or lose."

"We're still in the run-in stage, and if we make mistakes in the game, or if we play poorly, don't feel burdened at all."

“OK！”

"It's Banpick!"

……

WE's three-handed wrench in the first round was all aimed at Nexus, knocking out Captain, Jace, and Victor.

Obviously, they have studied the EDG game a year ago, and they know that Jiang Zhun is still the strongest and most stable link of this champion team after the blood exchange.

In the case of the opponent's three-to-one single, EDG on the red side uses the ban position for support and AD heroes.

"WE wins Ruiz in one election!"

"The first and second floors of the red side are locked up with the tsar and the blind man respectively."

Ruiz and Tsar, the two major brush heroes in the middle lane of the current version, the former can be transformed into a spell machine gun in the late stage, and the latter can rely on the inheritance of the passive [Shurima] to advance or defend in the middle and late stages.

Although each has its own merits, the two sides often have a tacit understanding between you and me, and if you don't pull me, I won't pull it.

"Give my brother-in-law Varus!"

EDG's middle and upper fields are all the top players in the LPL league, so WE directly helped the brother-in-law choose the good Verus, and planned to use EDG's lower lane as a breakthrough.

For WE's idea, the factory director has insight at a glance, but this round WE can choose two heroes, and can only watch the other party take the highly protective Tamu who can swallow the brother-in-law in his stomach.

"Gems."

"If you don't choose the second round, you're going to be triggered."

……

Soon, the Banpick session of the two teams on the field ended, and the lineup was locked:

Blue WE: Upper Unit Nal, Jungler Pig, Medium Unit Ryze, ADC Varus, and Support Tam

Red EDG: Upper unit Orn, Jungler Blind, Medium unit Tsar, ADC Policewoman, Support Gem

"The BP of the first game between the two sides can be said to be decent, and they didn't come up with anything strange."

"If I had to say something, it would be that the Gala contestants chose the policewomen. In the first and second weeks, the small cannons in the AD boosting system can often be seen, but the policewomen still appear relatively rarely, and the combination of policewomen with gems is even more strange! ”

"In contrast, WE's lineup can be said to be perfect! Tandu, control, continuous output, protection and more are all full! ”

"EDG's is almost meaningless, it depends on the state of the players and the rhythm of the team"

"If you look at it from the lineup, I think WE can win."

The analysis remembered was extremely objective.

Special guest Strawberry, as the old man of the WE team, naturally does not support EDG on his home turf, so he also agrees with the point of view.

Compared with the two, Guan Zeyuan seems a little rebellious.

"Although, remember that the analysis is correct!"

"But—I think you're missing something, and that's Nexus and Missing!"

"These two people, one is the champion who came out of WE, and the other is the youth player who is sold!"

"They can confidently say that no one knows WE better than I do!"

"So this one, even if Nexus locks in Orn's resistance and gives room to play in its own middle and bottom lanes, I think EDG can win!"

[Hahaha, it's all for you to understand!!] 】

[I also support WE can win, as for why. I simply think that my brother-in-law can beat gala, EDG, the new AD, looks too stupid, and I don't look like a person who can play a good policewoman.

[Although it is said that after Brother Zhun left WE, his strength became a little stronger than that of Brother Leg, but this game Orn Thanar is really inferior to the line, so I am also optimistic about WE]

[Xi'an fans are so enthusiastic! 】

[The old thief and the sister control cooperate so well, play WE and don't change Gala and missing, I think EDG purely wants to send WE a game, after all, this is the opening game of people's home stadium]

[Don't force it if you don't understand, it's all because Missing is from Xi'an, EDG wants him to show it in his hometown, don't you understand the gold content of the most humane club! ] 】

[Who is required to give a round to the home court?] Snake Mountain City didn't lose FPX in its home opener! E-sports strength speaks, as long as you play excitingly, you can do your best! 】

……

Enter the game.

This time, the two teams seemed to have agreed on it, and neither team chose a lined up field defense formation, but played a wave of 5v5 team battles in the lower lane.

Although no blood was born, the Tsar and Tam exchanged a flash, and both AD surrendered the healing.

Nar is an advantage on the Aoun line, and Kanti Pig Sister Lan Kai.

And Jiang Zhun also helped the spicy pot to play the red buff before going online, after all, Orn's hand is short and Naer's small long hand, and going online in advance is to give the other party a chance to consume his own blood.

Level 1: As long as you don't miss experience, you are successful.

"Eh, what's going on!"

"Why did a Level 2 Tsar come to this position!?"

The director's field of vision was placed on the bottom lane after giving the two sides a jungler, but he didn't expect to catch the image of the Tsar being chased by Ryzka at the angle between the grass row and the terrain when he switched to the middle lane.

"This hurts a little, the tsar knocked the two bottles of red medicine and finished estimating that the blood volume can't be recovered."

"Why did Scout go to that position, was he afraid that the pig girl would catch it directly after brushing the blue buff?"

The commentators were puzzled.

Xiye smiled.

Team analysts will study a variety of data, including but not limited to eye insertions, jungle routes, hero picks, skill points, and loadout habits.

In order to do a good job in the opening game, WE has made full preparations for this Spring Festival.

And the night also got a very important message from the analyst - whether it is the weeks before the spring game or the German Cup, Scout will lean into the bottom half of the middle lane in the early stage!

According to the inference, this is related to the fact that after the factory director retired and changed the incense pot, the incense pot was used to brush from top to bottom.

Because after eating a wave of pawns, your own jungler will basically brush up to the bottom half, so it's normal for Scout to lean under the mid lane.

But

This game of Scout is playing Tsar!

He just had to stand behind the ranged soldier to mend the knife, and there was no need to lean down at all.

But out of habit, he still leaned down, so he had already expected to seize this flaw in the night and earn a wave of blood!

……

Playtime: 3 minutes and 12 seconds.

Pig Girl Q flash, Ruiz followed Flash, and caught the Tsar who didn't flash in the middle.

The flash purification of the Tsar's belt, there is no way to rush to the middle of the road as soon as possible after the resurrection, and the line can only be spicy incense pot to help eat.

……

As we all know, one of the things that scares the opposing players the most when playing in a spicy pot match is that you never know where he will appear.

Therefore, as long as there is no vision of him, the opponent's line will not be pressed too deeply, and the opponent will also worry about whether he will be squatted when he is in the jungle.

However, due to the fact that the Tsar was killed alone, the blind man exposed his vision in the middle lane in the early stage, and the rhythm of MLXG's jungler was completely understood by Kanti!

Ripple effect.

All the actions of the blind man in the early stage are recognized.

After Gank went down the road, Pig Girl cooperated with the duo and even controlled Xiaolong.

When the camera returned to the middle, the Czar trailed by 19 knives in 8 minutes.

……

16:42

Jiang Zhun seized the opportunity of Nar becoming smaller, and killed 957 in a wave of three fragile singles.

But at the same time, the Tsar was in a hurry to enter the Xiaolong Resource Group on the lower road, and the ultimate move was only pushed to the pig girl, and the gem ultimate was killed by the fire before the Tsar was over.

On the EDG side, only the policewoman and the blind man can output the pig girl, and they can't be swallowed by Tam.

Then, WE played a 1-for-3 and took control of the second dragon.

……

Twenty minutes, EDG's economy is 5K behind.

……

Twenty-six minutes, WE defeated the big dragon buff and pushed down the EDG two-way highland.

……

Forty-three minutes, even if the Tsar and the policewoman were formed in the end, and Orn finished sending out the equipment, it was still because of the dragon soul and the lack of troops, and the EDG base was forcibly consumed to the point of exploding.

WE wins the first game!

There will be tomorrow morning
